smoke break
there are distractions. infighting on the left,
letters on neon signs blowing a fuse.
your biblical name was Languishing.
boys like to tell me who’s a weird guy,
I tell them they can live without music.
you look like you belong on a sunken ship,
glamorous and gilled, voice like a water chestnut.
I pretend I am as beautiful as the people in car commercials.
I revel in the coincidence of an old dog named Emily.
what ever happened to coincidence?
the worst person in me is the professor.
youtube suggests deep healing water sounds.
I wonder if the goldfish understands itself
as the troubadour of the bowl.
time is not a losing unit
even if we invented it to be possessed
what if I told you we had time
because time is made up
like everything else
and because we have it
like everything else
I love time because I love you
you are now in your time on earth
we are durating
observing the weekendhood
checking the clock
people make movies about time
the time it takes to make a movie
is not reflected in the length of
the movie itself
we don’t have all day
what if I told you time isn’t
leisure or luxury or even money
it’s just something we all
seem to agree on
at least some
